Once every farm in Norway was required by law to brew its own ale. The ale had smoky flavor, and most of it was spiced with juniper. This is our take on this traditional style.

0, 33 flaske fra VP nettbutikk, hjemme: klar rødlig kobber med fint skum som varer til bunns i mitt Torpah-glass. Behagelig duft hvor røykmalten holder seg i bakgrunnen til fordel for lyng, barskog og honning. Røykmalten er mer fremtredende i smaken, dog uten at det blir ubalansert - den komplementerer inntrykkene av lyng, lynghonning, rosiner og fuktig barskog. Røykmalten blir tydeligst i ettersmaken. Jeg er ingen røykøl-entusiast, men denne tåler jeg fint et gjensyn med. Et øl med personlighet.
